The new prime-time TV shows are out!
OK, it's only been a week or two already. But I want to guage FR opinion. I know many of you are not too keen on network TV and that's fine - but there are a lot of us who do watch regular TV on occasion.
What do you like (or dislike) for the new shows?
Like I said, it's early but my favorites are:
"The Unit" - carried over from last year
"Jericho"
"Shark"
Well, tell me what you think!
After that's over, I go back to Andy Griffith reruns....
A son is a son
Until he takes a wife.
A daugher is a daugher
For the rest of your life.
Battlestar Galactica
Dr. Who
Heroes (shows promise)
Sunday Night Football
Eureka
LOST
Battlestar Galactica
Sopranos
And before you ask, no, I am not James Woods (I only wish!)
I've never watched CSI:Miami, but have started in repeats now that it's on A&E. That's how I got hooked on the original CSI. I'm not sure if I'll try to watch the first run stuff this year or just ride along on the old ones on A&E. It's a good ensemble and well put together, at least the first season shows I'm seeing now. I will have to wait and see how CSI (Las Vegas) deals with the whole situation they've set up with Catherine Willows in this extended season opener before I figure out if they still have it or if they've jumped the shark. It could go either way. The end of the first show was pretty heavy handed, even if interesting for the actors. I loved the inclusion of Cirque (finally!).
I know these are not "new" shows, but...
The Unit - good one..glad it made a second season
CSI-Las Vegas - glad the new season is out, love this show
House - new season is good so far
Lost - can't wait for new season to start next Wednesday
Numbers - Rocks...
For the new shows:
Smith - seems to be a good hit. I like that Ray Liotta and Virginia Madson, it's like watching a mini-series/movie.
Standoff - I like it...although I can't help thinking of Office Space with Ron Livingston in it.
Heroes - kind of cool concept...people with superhuman/special abilities, become heroes...
Men In Trees - call me cheesy, but I like Anne Heche and it's kind of like another Northern Exposure, kind of...
Til Death - A new comedy sitcom
I set my DVR, but haven't seen Jericho, 6 Degrees or Shark yet...but I am interested.
Also, a new show I see coming out in January, is Daybreak...it's kind of a conspiracy theory/guy gets framed meets Groundhod day and it will air on CBS. Looks pretty good to me.
I like House, Bones and NCIS. All carry overs, nothing new is catching my attention this year.
What about "Commander in Chief" starring Gina Davis as Hillary Clinton?
Wasn't that show a couple of years ago?
Oh, CAN'T forget about "24", that shows a given on any favorite list.
Two really damn great comedies. Great casts. They remind me of NewsRadio, how hilarious that show was before Phil Hartman died.
I don't watch much TV, but did try to watch a little of "Studio 60."
It was bashing Christians, so I cut it off.
Some in Hollywood never tire of fighting God. But God's already written the final outcome--the Hollywood writers would do well to read His book, the Bible.
You turned it off too soon, that was the big twist. They were accused of it, but it turns out they are all kind of conservative and ended the TV show with a group prayer.
Denny, Earl and Office. Oh and Project Runway....hooked!
Sarcasm?
My wife loves Eureka. I like Rescue Me. Also NFL football, college football, and South Park.
Not until last year did I ever watch network TV......my son and daughter-in-law got me hooked on "House,MD".....that's the ONLY time our television is on network. :)
